This Weather Blows...

[faither]

We got between 28-30 inches here in Bergen County. I shoveled twice yesterday, finished by 8pm. Everything is nice and clean. Okay, got about an inch overnight, no problem. Plows coming around overnight, big problem. Nice wall o' snow at the end of the driveway. Oy!!! More shoveling so the DW can get out today (I walk to the train).

Trains decide to run on a "weekend" schedule -- whatever that is. I say "whatever that is" because the schedule they were running on was nothing close to the posted weekend schedule. What should have taken an hour and five or ten minutes winds up taking two and a half. To add insult to injury, the walk from Battery Park to the office was like trudging across the tundra. It's so unusual for snow to really pile up in The City. It is nice to look at though.

Thank goodness for the Sorels. At least my little piggies stayed warm.

Hehe...I lost internet connectivity on Saturday so I've been bored out of my mind. Then today, my car buried by the snow and those damned snow plows. It really doesn't help to plow the apartment complex streets when the snow you just plowed creates a 4 foot deep wall in front of the cars...spent the whole morning digging my car out...I don't even have boots or a shovel...

hey, I'm from Texas! In Houston, the only time Snow comes is when the 76ers come to town.

Damn thats a lot of snow. Take some pics!

I spent 4 hours shovelling yesterday. I can't believe my back is holding up. One good thing about the whole ordeal is that everyone was helping each other in the neighborhood.

The snow hasn't bugged me yet at all. Yesterday, I went to the park across the street and there were at least a couple hundred people sledding on a hill . . . made me want to get out there and sled!

My commute today was pretty easy . . . 2 block walk to the subway, then 2 blocks from the subway to work. The subway was a little bit slower than usual and felt a bit more crowded . . . but nothing too out of the ordinary.

I'm just dreading when the weather warms up a bit and we get rain this weekend and everything turns into slush.

We got about 20 inches here...with what looks like a mountain range in my front yard...there is just nowhere to put this stuff...what we need is a slow thaw starting like now ...it was nice when it started.......
...& as I shoveled last night, I watched the neighbor across the street snowblow his driveway....where did all his snow go????.....it covered his neighbors car ....I'm tellin you, this white stuff makes people do crazy things...and the only thing that doesn't hurt on me from shoveling are my eyeballs...

BTW... it's cheaper to buy a snowblower than it is to move to California (just in case you didn't realize that... )

During the past several winters, the local Sears Hardware store had about a dozen snowblowers sitting in front of the store with nobody buying them. They were dirt cheap last spring. I betcha they sold everyone of them yesterday.

Y'all just pack up your snow and send it to Seattle. Been a while since I've been able to point and laugh at an SUV in a ditch.

Funny you should say that....I just got back from the store and saw an SUV backwards in the median of the highway...snow piled to her windows...with two state troopers standing there probably trying to figure out how in the world she did it because the roads are perfectly clear...



....and Dark...did ya miss me?
I've been busy messing with other garbage on this computer of mine..but I've been reading you guys & ladies...keeping up with the what's what and the who's who...

In my area the official word was 27.5 inches at Boston's Logan air port. At one time we were getting four inches per hour.
